October
The British fleet sent by Clinton to rescue the British army arrives on October 24, 1781, five days after the battle had ended.

The fleet had picked up several Loyalists who had escaped on October 18, and they had informed Admiral Thomas Graves that they believe Cornwallis had surrendered.

Graves had picked up several more Loyalists along the coast, and they had confirmed this fact.

Graves sights the French Fleet, but chooses to leave because he is outnumbered by nine ships, and thus he sends the fleet back to New York.
